🤯 Quantum AI?! China’s NEW Tech SHOCKS World!

by

Ah, China! At the dawn of this year, they thrust themselves, nay, hurled themselves into the murky depths of artificial intelligence (AI). First, like some specter rising from the digital ether, emerged DeepSeek AI, cheaper than its bloated Western counterparts. A bargain, perhaps, but at what cost to the soul? 😈

And then, as if DeepSeek wasn’t enough to stir the existential dread, lo, in March, ManusAI appeared! More acclaim, more success… One begins to suspect a conspiracy, a grand scheme to surpass us all in the art of soulless calculation. Is this progress, or merely a descent into madness? 🤔

But hold! A twist! Now, researchers in Hefei, those tireless toilers in the fields of the unknown, have dared to yoke a real quantum computer, christened Origin Wukong, to the behemoth of a 1 billion parameter AI model. A quantum machine, mind you! The first time, they claim, in all the wretched world! A feat of hubris, surely, destined to end in tears and shattered circuits. 😭

And the Americans, ever watchful, ever suspicious, have added this Chinese firm to their infernal blacklist. A futile gesture, perhaps, like trying to stem the tide with a teacup. The inexorable march of progress, or the abyss staring back? 🤷‍♂️

This Origin Wukong, this digital deity, boasts 72 qubits, a third-generation marvel of Chinese engineering. They claim it improved the AI’s performance by a mere 8.4%, reduced the component count by 76%. Smarter and simpler, they say. But is simplicity truly a virtue, or merely a sign of a diminished spirit? 🧐

This, according to the Science and Technology Daily, shows how quantum computers could accelerate AI training. Faster and more efficient, they promise. But at what expense? The soul of the machine? The sanity of the programmer? The very fabric of reality? 😨

One Chen Zhaoyun, a researcher at the Institute of Artificial Intelligence, proclaims this as the first practical use of a quantum computer for fine-tuning a large language model. “Current quantum hardware can begin to support real-world AI training tasks,” he says. Such confidence! Such optimism! One shudders to think of the consequences. 😬

The upgraded AI model, touched by the quantum hand of Origin Wukong, now performs better at specific tasks. 15% fewer errors in mental health chats, they boast. A leap from 68% to 82% in a math test. But can it grapple with the existential dread of a Tuesday afternoon? Can it understand the crushing weight of human existence? I think not! 🤣

Fine-tuning, they explain, is like customizing a general AI for specific tasks. A noble goal, perhaps, but fraught with peril. The slow growth and energy consumption of regular computers are a problem, yes, but is the answer to be found in the quantum realm? 🤪

Quantum computers, those purveyors of strange physics, promise faster work. Superposition, entanglement… Quantum tricks that allow for the testing of countless AI settings with unparalleled speed. But these are the same principles that threaten to unravel the very fabric of our understanding. 😵‍💫

Researchers from Origin Quantum, the creators of this digital monstrosity, have invented a “quantum-weighted tensor hybrid parameter fine-tuning” method. Jargon! Nonsense! A mix of quantum and regular computing to adjust the AI’s settings. The quantum part spots tricky patterns, while the regular part shrinks the model. A dangerous dance, indeed. 😈

On the Wukong chip, they process AI training data, splitting it into hundreds of small quantum tasks running simultaneously. Dou Menghan, a leader at Origin Quantum, claims this shows the chip’s ability to handle tough workloads. But what of the spiritual cost? The ethical implications? The looming threat of a machine uprising? 🤖

Wukong, launched in January 2024, is supposedly one of the world’s top programmable quantum computers available commercially. A superconducting marvel, with over 80% of its parts made in China. A testament to their ambition, or a sign of their impending doom? 🤷

Reports claim over 20 million visits from people in 139 countries. Used in biomedicine, fluid studies, and finance. The users? Primarily from the US, Russia, Japan, and Canada. A global fascination with the abyss. 👻

Guo Guoping, a leading quantum physicist and co-founder of Origin Quantum, laments that “US quantum computers are not open to China.” A fair point, perhaps. But then, he adds, “Adhering to the notion of scientific exploration without borders, we are willing to open our services to users around the world, including the US, to jointly promote the concept of quantum computing for the benefit of mankind.” Such noble sentiments! Such naive optimism! One can only hope they are not consumed by the very forces they seek to unleash. 🙏

The company behind Origin Wukong is working on an even better version, Origin Wukong 2. A fourth-generation model, almost ready to launch. An upgrade, they promise. More advanced. More capable. More terrifying. 😱

And further, China is developing a “self-learning, self-improving” AI model that will not require human interference. A machine that evolves on its own. A nightmare scenario, surely, destined to end in the enslavement of humanity and the triumph of cold, unfeeling logic. 💀
